“Good Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

Nice clean rooms, simple hotel, no frills. Breakfast was decent, rooms were clean, staff was friendly and helpful. Air conditioning was so cold I almost forgot I ever left Canada. Would stay again. Only 2 minutes from the beach, with a great restaurant right outside. Also close to a banana stand. There's money in a banana stand....

“Nice place to stay in Karon”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 22, 2012

The hotel is located not directly in the centre, but with very short walk (1-2 min) to the markets etc. The room is quite spacious, nothing flashy, simple, clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful in providing directions and everything.
The breakfast was quite simple, but sufficient.

“Outstanding !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

Lovely Boutique Hotel. Have to agree with other reviewers, the staff are brilliant, always smiling and always happy to help. Our room was on the Fourth Floor ** and overlooked the pool of the Centara and hills in the background. Some nice restaurants only minutes walk away, we ate at Lana, and Bamboo mostly, Red Onion next door was always busy. 7/11 next door was handy , and Karon beach, only 5 minutes walk away, was not overcrowded ! (see pics).
Taxi from the Aiport was a bit of an experience - The driver stopped 3 times to ask directions which was a bit frustrating.
Taxis the most expensive I have experienced anywhere in Thailand. From the Airport to Karon, it was 600 Baht which is OK., But the return price is 1000 Baht (?).
Thanks Mus, Nus, & Aom on reception, and all restaurant staff for making our stay such a memorable one.

“Simplitel hotel - what a great find”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012 via mobile

I am staying @ the simpitel from the 18th-31st October . The hotel is nicely decorated throughout , the check In process was professionally done by a capable receptionist although there was a little awkwardness with the language barrier but it wasn't that bad we got there In the end . The. Room I had (504) was at the back over looking the mountains and there was no virtually no noise (apart from the occasional door bang ) ,the room consists of a large comfortable bed with pillow 2 bed side tables with lamps a chair , nice spacious sized wardrobe with safe , tea and coffee making facilities and wall mounted tv (with a couple of English channels) the bathroom is ok with a sink and seperate shower .there is free wi-fi either in the room or anywhere in the hotel .

Overall would I ever stay here again yeah I would

Nice hotel and easy to access from main road, value hotel for the cost. We will come back for our next trip when we come to Phuket soon. All facilities in room are OK, TV, Bath Room, minibar , bed , free wifi during the period of our stay. My father, mother , my husband and son are very happy with this hotel. Good locations a few minutes walk to Karon beach and along the road are plenty of restaurants which various kinds of food.
